Our founder, Elizabeth, had the opportunity to speak today at Sanofi’s Regional Readiness Summit, joining industry leaders from across the country to discuss how we can work together to improve outcomes for those living with Type 1 diabetes.

Elizabeth shared the importance of T1D education and screening resources in schools, highlighting how our T1 at School program helps equip educators, staff, and school communities with the knowledge and tools needed to better support students living with Type 1 diabetes.

Meaningful change happens when organizations come together, share best practices, and focus on creating safer, more informed environments for children and families. We’re grateful to be part of these important conversations and look forward to continuing this work.

Elizabeth Forrest, Founder of Touched by Type 1, joins Penelope Pauley, MD, FAAP — a Board-Certified Pediatric Endocrinologist —and Jonathan Velez-Rivera, MD — a Board-Certified Endocrinologist living with type 1 diabetes — to discuss the urgent need for early type 1 diabetes screening, the warning signs everyone should know, and why early detection can make a life-saving difference.

Early screening can help identify risk sooner, providing individuals and loved ones with more time, awareness, and options before crisis strikes.
